Paraeducator Training
The district partnered with NWESD 189 who developed the Fundamental Course of Study (FCS) courses, Units 1-12, through the online Canvas training platform. You will receive an email from Ashleigh Hollmann with the link to NWESD Canvas-Fundamental Course of Study System -- you can then set up your account and begin the training modules.
Please complete the training on your own time and submit the attached additional pay form to Ashleigh. You will also need to complete the FCS Clock Hour form for course credit; complete and return to Ashleigh as well.
Remember! This is REQUIRED training for ALL paraeducators (returning and new). If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Ashleigh Hollmann (360-428-6110, ext. 11312) or ahollmann@mvsd320.org.
